Purpose:The purpose of this project is to discuss the utilization of research in the clinical setting. The lecture will be provided for the Flagler Hospital surgical nursing staff based on a number of assumptions related to adult learners. The project will help to educate the staff by reinforcing awareness that many nursing practices are based on ritual and tradition. Through research and evidence based practice, nurses can re-evaluate if a change in practice is needed which in turn will improve patient outcomes.

Findings:The project will be completed by the end of December. At present there are questionnaires for the nursing staff in surgical services to complete. The responses will be calculated based on the staff's perception of research and how it is used. Based on this information the staff will attend an in-service promoting the concept of research-based practice. It is the researcher's hope that this will create an awareness whereby nurses will seek validation and improve existing practices.

Discussion:The study is designed to motivate nurses to question their practice. Nurses can improve the way things are done by utilizing research through peer reviewed articles. This project motivates nurses to seek the information that is available and through evidence based practice incorporate it into their practice.
